Christopher Chua Email & Phone Number

Dr. Chua is a Principal Scientist at SRI, an R&D powerhouse headquartered in Silicon Valley, California. At SRI, he led multiple commercial and government contracts, technology commercialization programs, and research & development initiatives, and currently leads a technical team performing advanced applied research in optoelectronics, LEDs, lasers, thin film transistors, high density interconnect, and micro-fabrication. He is the manager of SRI's Micro-Technology group at the Palo Alto division.He designed and built one of the world's most densely-packed vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) arrays, and pioneered a VCSEL architecture that is currently used and licensed by leading manufacturers. He also invented and developed a micro-fabricated on-chip inductor technology that resulted in world-record integrated circuit oscillator Q-factors.He is among the top 1% of USPTO patentees by total productivity in optoelectronics, according to a 2011 study at the Carnegie Mellon University. He has more than 140 US patents and has authored many technical papers in leading scientific publications, including work that won the best paper award at the 2003 ISSCC (International Solid State Circuit Conference) and work on a separate topic that won the best paper award at the 2009 IMAPS (International Microelectronics and Packaging Society).Dr. Chua holds a a P.h.D. in electrical engineering from Cornell University, a bachelors degree in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (M.I.T.), and a bachelors in electrical engineering from M.I.T.

Listed skills include Physics, Semiconductors, R&D, Optoelectronics, and 20 others.
